I’m so glad we’re heading into fall. While I use my slow cooker all year round, I do avoid soups and stews during most of the year. With some cooler temps, it’s a great time to try some new soup recipes. This Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken Soup has become a new favorite at my house–filled with my family’s favorite vegetables like red peppers, mushrooms and spinach. It’s a very easy recipe that makes a great healthy dinner!

Yield: 6 servings

Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken Soup

Name: Slow Cooker Tuscan Chicken Soup
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken, cubed; 2 cups chicken broth; 2 cups sliced mushrooms; 1 yellow onion, chopped; 1 7oz jar roasted red peppers, chopped; 2 Tbsp tomato paste; 2 tsp minced garlic; 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning; salt and pepper to taste; 8 oz fresh baby spinach, chopped

Ingredients

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken, cubed
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 7oz jar roasted red peppers, chopped
2 Tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp minced garlic
1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
8 oz fresh baby spinach, chopped

Instructions

Add all ingredients except spinach to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours.

Add spinach, stir, and cover. Cook for 10 more minutes or until spinach is wilted.

I usually serve soups with carbs on the side (like one of these 10 Sensations Sides for Soups & Stews). That way, the kids can carb-load while the adults take it easily. Alternately, you could add cubed potatoes for a more stew-like broth, or serve this soup with cooked rice or pasta.
